Kinetic description and connectivity of old and new models of flocking
Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
AbstractWe introduce a new particle-based model for flocking and we show that, as with the Cucker-Smale model, flocking occurs when pairwise long range interactions are sufficiently strong. Next, we derive a Vlasov-type kinetic model for these particle models and we inquire about their time-asymptotic flocking behavior for compactly supported initial data and the connectivity of their underlying graph. Finally, we introduce a hydrodynamic descriptions of flocking based on the kinetic models and show flocking behavior without closure of higher moments.
If it doesn't, something may have gone wrong with our embedded player.
We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.
